Jesu is an influential and innovative artist known for their unique blend of shoegaze, post-metal, and electronic music. Led by Justin K. Broadrick, a highly respected figure in the underground music scene, Jesu has been pushing boundaries and defying genres since their formation in 2003.

With a discography that spans over a decade, Jesu has consistently delivered captivating and atmospheric soundscapes that captivate listeners with their ethereal melodies and heavy guitar riffs. Their music seamlessly combines elements of dreamy shoegaze with the intensity of metal, creating a truly mesmerizing sonic experience.

Throughout their career, Jesu has collaborated with various artists from different musical backgrounds, further expanding their sonic palette. This willingness to experiment and collaborate showcases Jesu's commitment to pushing artistic boundaries and constantly evolving as musicians.

Justin K Broadrick initiated the Jesu project in 2003, and Jesu has gone on to be as critically acclaimed and loved as his previous project Godflesh. Jesu is credited as being at the forefront if not the very beginning of the post-metal movement and the hybrid of metal and shoegaze. Jesu essentially explores melancholy through heaviosity, electronica and shoe gaze.

Heart Ache (Remaster Deluxe) - This is Jesu as it was initially, but not as it was intended to be. The ghost of Godflesh resides in these recordings, arguably more than the Jesu self titled, both recordings were born during and just after the demise of Godflesh at the beginning of 2002, Heart Ache was originally released in 2004 on Dry Run Recs, it was the first ever release with the Jesu name.

Heart Ache was a document to the painful transitional period both in Justin Broadrick’s personal life and music existence around 2001-03.

Heart Ache (Remaster Deluxe) presents the original LP remastered and coupled with a bonus LP containing a rare performance of ‘Ruined’ live with guest appearances from Aaron Turner (ISIS the band/ SUMAC, etc) on guitar, Roderic Mounir (KNUT) on drums, featuring Diarmuid Dalton on bass, and a 'closure' remix of 'Ruined.' The 'closure' remix was initiated as an afterthought some time in 2010, but never completed, but appears now finished in 2020, and intended as an addendum and an ending to the heart ache period, as the Jesu that was left behind.
